Committed the frontend changes in two logical groups and left the generated Convex API file uncommitted as requested.

**Commits**
- `6bda08a` feat(frontend): refresh home onboarding and feed
- `d4b5bb7` feat(frontend): simplify public traces view

**Not Committed**
- `api/convex/_generated/api.d.ts` remains modified and unstaged.

Next steps if you want:
1) Verify UI locally with `bun run dev`.
2) If the generated file should be clean, I can revert or regenerate it.
